just listed this post as my cancel subscription reason for wow. THANKS =D

Blizzard probably hates mmo-champion by now. I know I feel guilty I don't play wow but use this site to talk about other games. You think this website will always be wow focused or since its mmo-champion will cover what ever is the dominant mmo out there and maybe one day guild wars 2, swtor, or maybe even Titan?

I also cancelled wow after I found out about GW2. And I don't care if it's still a year until it's out. I bought GW1 to get some points in Hall Of Monuments, and even though there's a few things I really don't like about GW1, I love that I get cooler looking gear for GW2. :P

The amount of actual gameplay is laughable comparing to prerendered CGI scenes. Makes one think why company is so reluctant to actually present their product. Possibly it's related to lack of monthly fee?

I remember someone was ripping apart his shirt stating that there are no quests (at all)? Funny how they have this 'Kill X quest' up into their face.

Please do a little research before talking about things you don't know about. Those aren't hard numbers. They change with the amount of people in the event. This particular event is not a quest for a couple reasons:

1) you never have to talk to an npc to do it
2) you don't personally have to kill ALL the pirates to get a full reward
3) you are not required to do this event, or any event

Also there are quest-like things in the game. It's called your personal story. But it only resembles quests in that you talk to people. It's a story. In a movie people talk to each other, and in the personal story you talk to people.

It's perfectly fine to dislike the game if it's not your thing, but quit trolling. Why are you here if you think it's so dumb?

"Epicness" is gone? Compare it to WoW.

The only thing that you lose going from the Skill demos on the websites and Average Joe playing at PAX is the special cameras. It's still the same damn thing.

As for the "quest." They didn't run up to a guy with an exclamation mark over his head to initiate it, he just fucking ran in on a pirate raid on a hamlet. Using the counter as an argument point is bullshit. Just because they have something keeping track of your progress and objectives, that doesn't mean it's a quest.

Is this another one of your troll-and-run posts? Because those are getting tiring.

Right now I'm wracking my brain trying to remember a single bit of CGI pre-rendered footage. I don't think I've seen any, actually, all we've gotten so far is concept art (piles of it) and in-game footage (again, piles of it, just check Blznsmri's post. Perhaps you're mixing things up with the all-CGI Cataclysm trailer?

It is, because costumes don't affect gameplay in any way. I'm sorry you don't have disposable income to waste on silly things like pretty pixel clothes. I've bought almost all of them and thought they were well worth the money, and at the same time I was supporting a company I think is doing pretty great work.

Can you please show me where did you see a mob counter, because i know for sure that you lie. ArenaNet said that there won't be counters for mobs because content scales and it would be ridiculous to have 4/16 and then 4/20. Instead of that they have a morale bar that you fill by killing mobs.

Btw, there are ingame videos with much better quality. Here's a 54 minute one. Awesome quality.

Last video.

It was clearly scripted, not real-time and created with higher detail/postprocessing level that is in real game engine.

It is the quest. How the presence or absence ?-mark makes any difference?

As you're not required to do any other quest. And in most frequent situation, it's you who have personally kill X pirates, and not one less. Or will I get half of reward if I kill only 4 and go away?

I cannot stand when people posting excited sheets of text, claiming that the black is white, misleading other people.
